This unit covers the Australian legal system, including concepts of common law; the doctrine of judicial precedent and court systems. Students will have the opportunity to analyse and interpret specific legislation and case law regarding work health and safety, (with a focus on the national model laws), and protection of the environment, in so far as it relates to a workplace. The aim of the unit is to provide students with an advanced understanding of the legal framework regulating work health and safety in order to apply it to OHSE practice.

Many undergraduate courses on offer through OUA include 'open elective' where any OUA unit can be credited to the course.
